The touchpad on my laptop is only good as a basic mouse. I can't use any gestures, and I can't see any options to enable them. Am I missing something?
Also, "Paint and paste" (To borrow a term from an earlier thread here) is broken. In a terminal, I like to highlight text, and click to paste. This does not work, and I don't like it.
Can anyone point me at any documentation on how to fix these things?
And are these regressions, or has someone decided this functionality is no longer required?
I know there has been debate by the fdo people about the multitude of clipboard mechanisms, and removing some. Hopefully the missing Paint and paste isnt the result of this.
Thank you all.

How are you trying to paste? ^V, Shift-^V or right-click-Paste?

I think he's using The Best Paste Method In The World, the middle click. It works from me when I select text in Firefox and Evolution but not in Gedit. I've never noticed this before, it's a bit weird.
Junk.

I revise that, it always works if I select in one program and paste into another, It seems to depend on the program when I select and paste into the same one, Gedit and Naultilus don't, Evolution does.
